I'm so struck by the way nobody seems to wear high-visibility jackets in Copenhagen - or maybe you just don't photograph those ones? I'd love to lose my bright yellow jacket - it's really not my colour - but if I cycled in a black coat in London I'd be heading for an accident

Being able to cycle at night in dark colours is a sign of a truly bike friendly city. London's got a long, long way to go.

Is there a standard of lights/reflectors that one must have in Copenhagen, and do the authorities look to enforce this? Just curious, years ago here in NY the police were looking for bells on bikes and such.

Lee: Your bike must be equipped with reflectors pointing to the side and pointing backwards. Also at night you must ave lights fornt and back or you vil get fined 500 dkr / 100 dollars. Bonus info: The cars must have the lights turned on during the day (as well as night). Same type of light around the clock
